Much more information is needed before your question can be answered. What stage is your divorce? Do both parties have attorneys? Has a divorce settlement agreement been signed by all the parties and their attorneys? Has the "packet" of divorce papers been submitted to the clerk for review before it goes to the judge to sign the decree? Or is it with the judge? Or are there outstanding papers that need to be drafted and signed?  Even in this age of no-fault divorce and even in an uncontested divorce, there is a mountain of paperwork that needs to be submitted to the court before the decree is signed by the judge. Once that paperwork is submitted, it is appropriate for your attorney to make periodic calls to the clerk to ascertain the estimated time before the papers will be reviewed by the clerk or the judge, depending on the stage. If corrections need to be made, the clerk will inform the attorney or party who submitted the papers. Once you answer these questions, you'll get a more helful answer.
